Speedy Dribbler

By josedeo, 06-08-2018

After a full weekend league and around 80 matches total, I can say that while this card may portray an air of grandeur and general "sexyness" that other cards simply don't posses, it is tragically flawed. A master when it comes to dribbles and the outright king of the curve attribute, Douglas Costa simply leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to his shooting. Though he eloquently breezes past defenses like nothing and provides your team with some of the best passing attainable in terms of a pass to cost of card ratio, he's like a vasectomy in the sense that he'll leave you shooting blanks. Immediately noticeable, this achilles heel forces him out of the conversation when referring to the best wingers in the game. Do not be fooled by the superficial reviews posted above, for though he may dribble like Neymar, his puny three star weak foot will cost you games. As a whole, this card may look to be too good to be true, and that is because it is. Though there is a dearth of right wingers in the calcio A, this card should be used out of necessity only, as the plethora of options available at a similar price simply negates Costa's overall value.

Assisst King

I packed him from the Serie A sbc. I have played him only as a sub in the CAM position around the 60th minute. After about 20 games, I gotta say this card is the most fun card Ive used in this fifa. Because of his height and his dribbling he can pass through defenders like it's nothing, even without using skill moves just by running. He hasn't scored many goals for me, but he always gets an assist or two when I sub him on.

I was looking to buy Douglas Costa however fortunately I found him in the guaranteed Calcio A SBC. I play him as a right midfielder in the formation 4-1-2-1-2 with wings and not cm's. Until now I have only used him as a sub, haven't started a game once and so this is what I can say about him. I play him with an instruction to come back on defence so he helps the RB and he does the job, even if his defensive work rate says t...
